I doubled my position in EXC this week. On Thursday when the market was up EXC was down, so I bought into the weakness. I'm not sold on the belief that the business cycle will rev up, so I'm looking for income. I currently own EXC, NGG, and VOD.

I'm watching MRK for end of the year tax selling. Morningstar had some mildly negative comments about MRK.

But Edward Owens of the Vanguard Specialized Healthcare mutual fund has MRK as his largest holding and the high dividend yield looks very appealing.

The chart also makes the stock look appealing, so I will wait for an entry point below 35.

Last but not least, MRK has a potential blockbuster in its pipeline.
